It’s so tantalizing close that I can barely stand it… Imagine hairy legs with high heels, an epic fight at the grocery store parking lot and lots and lots of cheese dip. And this is only the beginning. See you in a couple of weeks.

For those of you who know me, I have always loved being a musician. For a while, I thought that I would make my living as a drummer, but the world conspired against me. That being said, I couldn’t be grateful enough that I ended up as a venture capitalist. Last year, I spearheaded the…

Today, it was announced that Techstars has raised a fund to provide $100,000 to each of its startups. This is awesome news for both participants in the program as well as the Techstars Network, in general.

I have been in Boston this weekend hanging out with friends following a few days of board meetings, Techstars demo night (which rocked) and a day visiting with our investors. I figured that I’d tack on a long weekend and explore a town that I visit often, but rarely go out and “play” in. Yesterday…

Alright, I know I’m going to get flamed on this one, but as a Michigan Wolverine, I can’t resist. Today, a friend of mine sent me the video below entitled “We are Notre Dame.” It’s the worst song that I’ve heard. Period. The video isn’t any better and the fact the school endorsed it by…
